RED WAGS

IT won't be solely a battle on the pitch at Stamford Bridge between Manchester United and Chelsea - but a fight to see which team has the hottest WAGs.

Viktor Lindelof's better half Maja Nilsson and Sam Smalling, wife of United defender Chris, could be cheering on their fellas on Saturday.

JOSE IN TROUBLE

UEFA have blamed Manchester United and Jose Mourinho for the team's late arrival to their Champions League fixture against Valencia earlier this month.

The club has been hit with a £13,200 fine - despite the Red Devils boss previously calling out the police for failing to provide them with an escort.

MANCHESTER UNITED have arrived in London ahead of their clash against Chelsea on Saturday.

The Red Devils took the train from Stockport with several players in a joyous mood as they waited on the platform.

GOOD MOURNING

The Portuguese boss won three Premier League titles at Stamford Bridge and is still well thought of by the Blues faithful.

The Red Devils have already lost three times this season with the Portuguese boss being blasted for parking the bus at times.

JOSE IS HERE

JOSE MOURINHO will be on the touchline against Chelsea on Saturday - as the Premier League give him extra time to answer for his swearing antics.

The United boss faces a potential two-match ban following their win over Newcastle United two weeks ago.

'HE'S ON FIRE'

The Frenchman believes Eden Hazard is on fire at the moment as the Red Devils look to end the Blues' unbeaten run.

The ex-England skipper won 16 trophies during his time at Old Trafford with himself among those to have controlled the dressing room.

BLUE MAN U

PAUL SCHOLES believes Man United's season will go from bad to worse when they travel to Chelsea on Saturday.

The former Red Devil has been highly critical of his old club this campaign and thinks they will lose at Stamford Bridge.

HARRY'S DREAM

HARRY MAGUIRE has revealed his ambitions of playing in the Champions League.

The Leicester City and England defender has been targeted by Manchester United, who have been on the lookout for a new centre-back after a difficult start to the season.

HEARTBROKEN

ALEXIS SANCHEZ'S bad form is down to his split from stunning Colombian Mayte Rodriguez - after the couple separated last month.

But the Chilean forward still wants out of Man United because of JOse Mourinho's tactics.

FERGIE QUIT SHOCK

MICHAEL CARRICK has revealed how Sir Alex Ferguson told his Manchester United stars he did not want to retire in 2013.

The former Old Trafford midfielder has opened up on the legendary boss' farewell speech in his new book, Between the Lines.

YOU SHAW?

THERE was a time, not so long ago, when there was more chance of a smile from Jose Mourinho than Luke Shaw having a lengthy Old Trafford future, Sun Sport's Phil Thomas writes.

Public humiliations by his manager – on the rare occasions he got a start – doubts over his fitness, questions over his commitment - and now, unbelievably, a huge new contract.

SAVE DAVE

MANCHESTER UNITED handed a five-year deal to Luke Shaw - but still cannot get David De Gea to commit long-term.

United have triggered a one-year option on De Gea’s contract to keep him until the end of next season when he could leave on a free.
